One size I've found very interesting is the 12x16 board - don't know just
if this size fits here, but with a little adjustment to 1 game, I will have
done 3 12x16 games using 2 chess-sets worth of pieces. All 3 games can be
played with 2 standard chess sets and 3 boards, one of which is cut in
half. There are a number of other 12x16s out there. Some, like Cataclysm,
are quite good.  But very large, good games can be hard to find, so I like
the idea of a 'Very-Large' thread. So, my only question at this point is:
is the 12x16 a very-large or a large? [Okay, it's a transition size, and
might deserve its own thread. I'll also offer another oddball, a 9x21,
and ask about that.] 
Good idea. I'll try to come up with something worth adding.
